196: Chapter 196 Was he also chosen by the forbidden area?

Tian Cai's voice gradually began to fade, and everyone at the scene had already connected the dots to the truth of this matter!!

Everyone looked at the blind man opposite them in disbelief.

This matter could completely be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.

From the initially heartwarming story, it was a direct, earth-shattering plot twist!!

However, at this moment, Fatty was still a bit bewildered.

"Eh??"

He leaned over to Lin Tianyi's side and whispered, "Old Lin, what exactly is going on here? Why am I still a bit confused?"

"Idiot!"

Lin Tianyi scolded, then quickly explained, "To put it simply, Wang Xianzhi wasn't originally a wanderer. She is from Penglai, and then she was taken away by the blind man and forced to wander. Do you understand now?"

"Oh my god!!"

Fatty was shocked and instantly realized the truth.

"So you're saying this was completely a targeted setup by the blind man!! What on earth is he trying to do?!"

"Human Sword…"

Lin Tianyi muttered, unable to find any relevant information.

However, at this moment, Wang Shan, who was to the side, murmured,

"The so-called Human Sword is something crafted by a practitioner of swordsmanship in order to reach the pinnacle.

First comes sword-nurturing; this requires selecting someone with excellent talent in the way of the sword, then raising them by one's side from a young age. The purer their heart, the better.

Once they reach adulthood, they are made to experience the most painful of events. In this way, the sword can be considered half-finished.

But it still requires another painful event to truly forge the Human Sword.

And if it is a Human Sword, then this person will inevitably bear a Human Sword mark on their body, especially when the sword is completed; it will be very conspicuous."

As Wang Shan's voice fell, a rune appeared on the back of Wang Xianzhi's right hand, glowing with a faint red light.

At this moment, all previous speculations completely turned into reality.

...

Bullet comments section,

[Oh my god? What kind of insane plot twist is this?? So that's how it actually is?]

[What a blind man, his scheming is simply too deep!! Too deep!]

[So to put it simply, in reality, he doesn't really want to save the world at all; he's doing it purely for himself!]

[Fine, fine, fine!! So his sacrifice was also completely planned out. What scheming! Truly, what scheming!! How can such a person even be alive right now? Truly despicable and shameless!]

[But say, is there a possibility? This blind man's strength is extremely high, and on top of that, he has now successfully nurtured a Human Sword, and he is actually from Penglai??]

[Holy crap, what kind of Mission Impossible is this?? This is nuts!!]

...

In the Dawn vehicle parked by the side of the road,

everyone present was stunned after seeing the blind man's appearance on the livestream screen.

"He actually didn't die!"

Liu Tao looked at the situation on the livestream screen in shock.

"Why? How could he…"

"The human heart is the most unpredictable thing," said Wen Xiuya.

As she watched the blind man's appearance on the livestream, she was also somewhat surprised, yet felt it was somewhat reasonable.

Previously, the Xue Group had wanted to take away the blind man's body, but in the end, they couldn't even find it.

And now, this mystery was explained here.

'He actually didn't die; it's truly surprising,'

At the same time, Wen Xiuya's greater doubt was which side the 'blind man' was actually on.

At least she could be certain that the blind man was definitely not one of their people from Penglai, but now he didn't look like he was on the side of Dawn either.

'Could it be… that he is also someone chosen by the Forbidden Zone?'

After this thought surfaced in Wen Xiuya's mind, she quickly cast it aside.

After all, regardless, this kind of thought was still too exaggerated.

But, it was not completely impossible.

...

On the livestream screen,

the atmosphere at the scene was undoubtedly very awkward, especially when they saw the red glowing rune on the back of Wang Xianzhi's hand; it became even more silent.

No one dared to speak at this moment, and this silent atmosphere lasted for several minutes.

When the black mist began to close in again, the blind man standing opposite them spoke calmly,

"Disciple, come to your master's side. Be good."

There was no ferocity on the blind man's face; there was only a kind smile, as if all the previous speculations were merely false guesses.

Hearing his words, Wang Xianzhi's eyes gradually moistened.

"Master… are they, are they saying the truth? Am I… was I taken out of Penglai by you?"

"Don't dwell on these things," the blind man waved his hand and continued to guide her,

"These things are not important. What's important is that your master did not die. Your master has been waiting to reunite with you.

Your master wants you to become a peerless prodigy in the way of the sword!!

Do not let your master's painstaking efforts go to waste."

"I…"

Wang Xianzhi's eyes were dazed; she had already begun to lose her most basic judgment.

However, at this moment, a voice from Song Yiqing instantly woke her up.

"He has been using you from the very beginning! He wants to enter Earth Immortal Village!!"

"What?"

Wang Xianzhi's pupils constricted, and her body trembled slightly again.

Then, with an expression of disbelief, she slowly turned her head to look at the blind man opposite her.

"Is… is what he said true?"

"…"

The blind man did not speak, but instead cast his gaze toward Song Yiqing, asking with a hint of confusion,

"Why do you think I want to enter Earth Immortal Village?"

"Heh," Song Yiqing chuckled.

"Your goal is too obvious. Starting from the Mongoose Gate in the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone, I always felt that someone was tailing us, but several times I felt it was just an illusion.

But until I started using the Eight Trigrams technique to try and deduce it, you appeared.

Is this a coincidence?

No,

I don't think so. This is the reason you've been following from the very beginning.

You want to enter Earth Immortal Village, you want to take away the Human Sword!"

"Hehehehe," the blind man smiled faintly, and at the same time, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

"Song Yiqing, your intelligence is admirable. Even without any clues, you were able to find the correct answer.

But you are wrong about one thing."

"Hm?" Song Yiqing frowned and looked at him.

"What is wrong?"

"I am not here to take away the Human Sword," the blind man said, shaking his head slightly.

Then, his eyes sharpened, locking onto Zhang Qilin among the group.

"What I want is this last patriarch of the Zhang family!!"

As he spoke, the blind man had already swung the long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword aura instantly swept out.
